The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Thursday arraigned a
Lagos-based lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, for allegedly dealing in a
landed property in defiance of a court order.
Adegboruwa was arraigned on one count alongside one Jonathan Udeagbala,
said to be at large, before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of a Federal
High Court in Lagos.
In the charge, marked FHC/L/181c/2016, presented before the court by
its prosecutor, Idris Abdullahi, the EFCC claimed that Adegboruwa and
Udeagbala dealt in a property “lying, being and situate at House 105,
Nicon Estate, Lekki, Lagos,” without the authorisation of the EFCC.
According to the anti-graft agency, the said property was a subject of
litigation before Justice C. A. Balogun of the Lagos State High Court.
The EFCC claimed that on August 13, 2013, Adegboruwa and Udeagbala
leased the property in defiance of an order of interim injunction made
by Justice Balogun on June 18, 2012, concerning the property.
The defendants were accused of leasing the property to one Shelf
Drilling Nigeria Limited in the sum of N61,631,944.65, which the EFCC
claimed was credited to Adegboruwa’s account with Zenith Bank.
The prosecutor claimed that Adegboruwa and Udeagbala committed an
offence punishable under Section 32(1) of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (Establishment) Act 2004.
